After a long day of classes and
studying, there's no better way to
relax than to catch a movie. The
Chapel Hill area offers plenty of
choices for the moviegoer. From the
latest Hollywood release to foreign
films to old classics, you can find
them all around Chapel Hill.
Four commercial movie theaters
are in Chapel Hill: the Carolina Blue
and White Theatres, the Varsity
Theatre, the Ram Triple and the
Plaza. Classic movies can be seen at
the Chapel Hill Public Library weekly
and occasionally in the Carolina
Union Film Auditorium. Foreign
films and independent films are
regularly featured at the Rialto
